Brexit concerns business. I will offer support packages, and will lead Britain’s first Brexit Boost Area. Open for business to the world. - Linda Arkley

My campaign is unashamedly forward thinking and ambitious. So, let me tell you what the North of Tyne area will be like after I have been Mayor for five years. We will be the home of more and better jobs. We will be the home of Educational Excellence. We will be the home of thriving businesses. We will be the home of Better local Transport. We will be the home of Ambition.

Past battles and political Punch and Judy shows are not for me. I will build a bridge to the brilliant future we all have- the right leader at the right time doing the right things. That leader is me.

I will bring a new generation of Council Housing. World class homes and local companies to build them. Homes with Ambition.
